Re: Botch Idea
I have bogies on my Brandbright 4-wheel coaches, and I am very pleased with them running in sharp curves. I have a 2,5 foot radius curve on my Pine Hill Railway. Here is a pic of my first built coach. The bogies are the simple plate frame from Brandbright. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zecup8qc0fbmql5/A...

R/C and whistle for a RH Jennie
A few days ago I got my new RH Jenny in house. Black with red lining (pics will soon come here). I got a r/c-kit and a pressure gauge. And will during winter start installation of these. But I also want a steam whistle installed to. Could anyone here recommend what brand and where to put resonator a...

Re: 12BA lock nut - Atropos Garden Railway Equipment
I have received some extra nuts and bolts now. Thanks for Your help. But something different: I may have seen some nice tracks, turnouts and wagonturntables from Atropos (or an other brand). Does anyone here knows about websites which shows this kind of trackworks. It would be very nice on my garden...

12BA lock nut - Atropos Garden Railway Equipment
I have started building a Penrhyn Quarry Rubbish Wagon from Atropos Garden Railway Equipment. Unfortunately I have lost one of the 12BA lock nut and it’s too small to find somewhere on the floor under my workbench. :? Does anyone have an e-mail-address to Atropos Garden Railway Equipment. So I can s...

Re: The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a Norwegian Garden Railway
I like that a lot.
The frame and rimes needs som rusty enamel colors mixed with powder colors.
The tires and sides of the car will look better with some mud. Try to apply mud acrylic colors mixed with plaster.
Then the pig would feel much more comfy ...

Re: The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a Norwegian Garden Railway
The I P kit is lasercut plywood. Very nice and accurate fit. The teak-/mahogany-look is a wood-stain lacquer in 3 layers. Norwegian coaches where often made with teak-panels on a pine framework. So this is definitely a Norwegian coach. :D As you may see - it’s modified from 7 comp to 5 comp due to s...

Re: The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a Norwegian Garden Railway
A new coach coming from the workbench. Though it's still winter, I think summer will appear this year too - but I'm not sure. :) This time the Pine Hill Railway gets a Vale of Rheidol Matchboard Summer Bogie Coach from I P Engineering. As you may have noted, the coach is shorter than the origin. Du...

Re: The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a Norwegian Garden Railway
This is the way of weathering ... The Land Rover comes very shiny out of the box. Masking the windows on both sides. Spray clear matt acrylic lacquer on the body. Rubbertires need to be cleaned with whitesprite more of this later. The matt finish is done with light grey and silver Tamya acrylic pain...

Re: The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a Norwegian Garden Railway
That Landrover weathering is beautifully done and the vehicle is RHD too, is that how it was supplied? If so what make is it? The model is from Minichamps.de. Diecast metal. A very nice model. The origin is the 1948-model with 50 HP 1,595ccm engine, made for agricultural sector. The inspiration for...

Re: The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a Norwegian Garden Railway
It's a winterstorm here in Norway today. Then it's nice and warm to sit by the workbench and make something different than trains. A heavy weathered Land Rover scale-model (1:18). I think it will fit perfectly in a trackside scene when spring comes in the garden. https://www.dropbox.com/s/u0c2qhbsx8...

Re: Buffer Centre Height - German 750mm Guage lines
Interesting issue ...
I think the coupling hight is about 750mm also on those 750mm «schmalspurbahnen» in Germany. But it is hard to find drawings with the coupling hight. Look for Rasender Roland and Öchslebahn, but non of them have good drawings of their engines - only pics.

Re: The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a Norwegian Garden Railway
Thanks for all nice feedbacks.
The corrugated iron are actually tinplates from tincanes cut in pieces with a metal scissors. Drilled some 0,6 mm holes and nailed them to the framework with small metal nails. The roof is grey painted plasticsheets from Plastruct.

Re: The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a Norwegian Garden Railway
The colour is near «Victorian Maroon», bought in a housepaint shop (solvent-based paint).invicta280 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 5:56 pm I really like the purple colour of your coaches. What paint did you use? They look very smart.
I think the colour is very much like the coaches at the Brandbright web-site.

Pics of Brandbright PS22 Director's Saloon
I have the PS22-kit of the Brandbright Director's Saloon, but I have not yet start building it.
Anyone who have the interior pics of the Brandbright Director's Saloon coach? The kit is not yet available from Brandbright.
Maybe someone have their own pics of the coach who want to share them here too.
